Ever feel like you are in a dream but you know you aren't sleeping? That's how I felt for a whole week after my boyfriend of almost 2 years proposed to me on November 14, 2009. He asked me to marry him at Symphony Hall in Boston, right before we watched an amazing concert performed by the BSO. Music is my passion and he couldn't have picked a more perfect venue to ask me to be his wife. Wife? Me? This is still incredible.
I've been waiting for this moment my whole life, or should I say I've been waiting for this man and this relationship my whole life! JB and I compliment each other as I'm a complete diva tendicied control freak, and he is laid back and doesn't let too much bother him. I can be as structured, scheduled or emotional as I want and he just let's me go on and on and on. With one big hug and a, "I love you", he can shut me up. Believe me, no man has ever been able to shut me up with just a hug!
JB and I just work. We've become each others best friend and we compliment each other with our interests and passions. A very wise friend of mine told me long before I got asked THE question that it is hands down, absolutely the most important decision of your life. Everything you do, decide and experience from now on for the rest of your life will be directly linked to this decision. It HAS to be right, our you'll end up like 50% of all couples, divorced. You'll have your kids and make your home with this man, and most of all you'll link your families together.
We both think the world revolves around our families. I've witnessed other people's relationships where they are great together but for whatever reason their families are not compatible. This can cause families to break and become unstable, and it's no ones fault, these things just happen. I've always dreaded this happening to me. I can't picture my life without my family around, especially my siblings. Seriously, the fact that my brother in law and JB get along famously sprouts smiles out of my eyeballs! We also would rather hang with his rents' then go out to a bar with peers. What? They're cool!
I do understand that any marriage has its up's and down's. I know that even though JB and I work, there will be times ahead of us that will be difficult. But, I honestly can say that I have no reservations about marrying JB. During my past relationships, I've never really felt as if they were going to pan out. With the "others", I just had a gut feeling that we had no future. I never imagined myself being so blissfully happy. I found him!
Let this be the start of my own wedding planning blogs, the good, bad and not so ugly!
Stay tuned.
